How It Works

Calculate fall energy absorption from bouldering pad thickness and foam density. Standard pads: 10-15cm open cell + closed cell hybrid. Maximum safe fall from 6m: requires 25cm+ if landing zone is padded

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Bouldering pad thickness — The bouldering pad thickness recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Foam density — The foam density recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the bouldering pad thickness result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the bouldering pad thickness, foam density for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate fall energy absorption from bouldering pad thickness and foam density. Standard pads: 10-15cm open cell + closed cell hybrid. Maximum safe fall from 6m: requires 25cm+ if landing zone is padded. Use the bouldering pad thickness result to inform your calculation.
